Although the route circles Lake Sils, it does not do so comfortably along the lakeshore, but instead climbs up to Lägh da Lunghin at 2484 m above sea level. The triple watershed is a little higher still.

Description

You start the circular route at Sils Baselgia and walk along the calm, turquoise waters of Lake Sils. After following the shore of the picturesque lake to the other end, you cross the road at the first houses in Maloja and leave the lake. Now begins the stony trail up to Lägh dal Lunghin (2484 meters). A magnificent Alpine panorama opens up around the lake with Piz Lunghin, Piz Grevasalvas and even higher snow-covered peaks in the distance, which form the border with Italy: Piz Roseg, Piz Fedoz, Cima di Rosso and Cima di Castello.

On the way back, the trail is a little bumpier at first until you pass the small village of Grevasalvas, where the charming stone and wooden houses invite you to take a break and forget the time. The village is a small detour. But the few meters that you then have to climb back up to the trail are well worth it. The rest of the descent follows the Via Engiadina, a gentle, unpaved single trail down to the glistening waters of Lake Sils.
